Note: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Have this SDS, product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.

Suitable / Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Drench with large volumes of water only. Do not use dry extinguishers containing ammonium compounds. Attempts to smother fire with a wet blanket, carbon dioxide, dry chemical extinguisher or other means are not effective. Use water to cool containers exposed to fire.

Specific Hazards from Chemical: May intensity fire, oxidizer. This product is an NFPA Class 3 Oxidizer which can cause a severe increase in fire intensity. May explode from heat or contamination. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Run-off may create fire or explosion hazard. Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels).

Special Protective Equipment: In the event of fire, wear a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. See EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIONS for protective equipment for fire fighting.

Other Information: HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCT: Chlorine.

Personal Precautions: Keep unnecessary personnel away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep away from clothing and other combustible materials. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. ELIMINATE all ignition sources. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillage cannot be contained. For personal protection, see Section 8. Contamination with moisture, acids, organic matter, other chemicals (including but not limited to cleaning chemicals and other pool chemicals), petroleum or paint products or other easily combustible materials may start a chemical reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases and possible violent reaction leading to fire or explosion. In case of fire, personal protective equipment should be used in addition to normal fire fighter equipment.

Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterway, sewers, basements or confined areas. If product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains or ground, inform respective authorities.

Methods and Materials for cleanup: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc) away from spilled material. Ventilate the contaminated area. Avoid generating dust and accumulation. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. This material is classified as a water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk.

Sweep up and shovel using a clean broom or shovel. Shovel material into clean dry containers. All spills of this product should be treated as contaminated. Contaminated product may initiate a chemical reaction that may spontaneously ignite any combustible material present, resulting in a fire. Avoid getting spilled product wet. Do not seal disposal containers tightly. Immediately remove all product in disposal containers to an isolated area outdoors.

REPORTABLE QUANTITY: 10 lbs. (as calcium hypochlorite) per 40 CFR 302.4.

Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid inhalation of dust and fumes. Keep away from heat. Keep away from combustible material. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not mix this product with any other chemicals, including other pool chemicals of any kind. Contamination with moisture, acids, organic matter, other chemicals, petroleum or paint products or other easily combustible materials may start a chemical reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases and possible violent reaction leading to fire or explosion. Always add product to large quantities of water to fully dissolve product. Do not pour water into product, always add product to water. Do not use with stabilized chlorine or bromine tablet chemical feeder. Do not add this product to any dispensing device containing remnants of any other product or pool chemical.

Storage: Store locked up. Keep product tightly sealed in original containers. Store product in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from combustible or flammable products. Prevent ingress of humidity and moisture into container or package. Store in a climate controlled storage area or building is recommended in those areas where extreme high temperatures occur.

Do not store at temperatures above an average daily temperature of 35° C / 95° F. Storage above this temperature may result in rapid decomposition, evolution of chlorine gas and heat sufficient to ignite combustible products. Store away from incompatible materials (See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY) (NFPA Oxidizer Class 3)
